lVhile I preferably make the guide round and provide it with an annular slot, still it may be made in any desired form so long as it is movable and adjustable.

The foregoing description and accompanying drawings set forth in detail mechanism in embodiment of my invention. Change may therefore be made therein, provided the principles of construction respectively recited in the following claims are employed.

I therefore particularly point out and distinctly claim as my invention- W l. The combination, with a reel and a reel face-plate provided with a vertical slot, of a guide fitted in the latter, said slot being located in the same line with the central portion of the reel, and having its lower end located below a horizontal line passing above the reel-axis, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with a reel and a guidesupport provided with a vertical slot, of a guide fitted in the latter, said slot having vertical dimension greater than that of the portion of the guide which lits therein, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination, with a reel and a guidesupport provided with an opening, of a guide having an annular bearing which loosely .fits in said opening, substantially as set forth.

4l. The combination, with a reel and a guidesupport provided with an opening, of a guide having its central portion loosely fitted in said opening, and having front and rear flanges Sesma which .respectively overlap the corresponding walls of the slot, substantially as set forth.

5. The combination, with a reel and a guidesupport provided with a vertical slot, of a guide having an annular bearing loosely fitted in the latter, said slot having its vertical dimension greater than that of said annular bearing, substantially as set forth.

6. The combination, with a reel and a guidesupport provided with a vertical slot, of a guidehaving its central portion fitted in said slot and of less verticalY dimension than the latter, said guide provided with front and rear flanges respectively overlapping the corresponding walls of said slot, substantially as set forth.

7. The combination, with a reel anda guidey PATRICK L. DAY.
